In a callback to
Ragnarok, the personified Odinpower compels Thor, who has sacrificed one eye
for wisdom, to pluck out the other….
The planet
Ciegrim-7 is under attack by enemies, the shields are holding but they are
certainly doomed. One of the officials has cracked up and is praying to
Hercules for help. And we see they are under attack by a giant-size Thor, an
armored spaceship in the form of the God of Thunder—and powered by a captive
Thor. Thor was lured into a trap and subdued, his body hooked up to the engine
and his mind trapped in a loop of memories of obtaining the All-Power….
But Hercules
has heard the prayer and has stolen a small ship to head to Ciegrim-7,
Rocket Raccoon yelling at him over the comm the entire way. The giant robotic Thor
opens fire on Herc’s ship but it holds up, the commander calling for more
power. Thor wonders if he needs to pluck an eye out and the personified
Odinpower commands him to make a further sacrifice. He breaks out of the
machine and plucks out both eyes. Then Hercules crashes the small ship into the
giant Thor and clobbers the guards while Thor, having the All-Power, heals
himself. Thor recovers Mjolnir which crashes through several floors to reach
him and the two deities start fighting massive numbers of alien soldiers. As
this is tedious, Thor has an idea and Leaves Herc to mow down the soldiers and
summons his power to again take control of the ship but for his own use. He
enters the bridge and confronts the commander. Thor states that the commander
had seized the All-Power but not paid the traditional price---so he makes the
giant robot pluck out its right eye, which is where the bridge is located. Thor
carries Herc home….
